According to official estimates, over 1200 serial publishing projects are currently functioning in Russia.

Most fiction books are usually also released serially: in genre series (e.g. a series of foreign detective stories “Medicine from Boredom”, “The Magic of Fantasy”, “Foreign Thriller”, “Drama”), in one-author series (series of books by Stephen King, Max Frei, Strugatsky brothers), in geographical series (“English Line”, “French Line”, “New French Line”), in chronological series (“Playing in Classics”, “School of Classics”, “Foreign Literature. XX+I”, “Masters. Contemporary Prose”) etc.

The Literary Club meeting is going to discuss the best book series produced by the Russian publishing houses — popular among readers and regarded as distributors of a high quality literature.

The meeting will be accompanied by the book exhibition displaying some brand-new fiction and popular science books by Russian and foreign authors published serially by “Molodaya Gvardiya”, “Inostranka”, “Eksmo”, “AST”, “Domino”, “Amfora”, “CentrePoligraph”, “Vremya” etc. Attendants of the meeting will be able to borrow the books on display and to issue a library card.
